Extreme metal--one step beyond heavy metal--can appear bizarre or terrifying to the uninitiated. Musicians of this genre have developed an often impenetrable sound that teeters on the edge of screaming, incomprehensible noise. Extreme metal circulates on the edge of mainstream culture within the confines of an obscure 'scene', in which members explore dangerous themes such as death, war and the occult, sometimes embracing violence, neo-fascism and Satanism. In the first book-length study of extreme metal, Keith Kahn-Harris draws on first-hand research to explore the global extreme metal scene. He shows how the scene is a space in which members creatively explore destructive themes, but also a space in which members experience the everyday pleasures of community and friendship. Including interviews with band members and fans, from countries ranging from the UK and US to Israel and Sweden, Extreme Metal: Music and Culture on the Edge demonstrates the power and subtlety of an often surprising and misunderstood musical form.

Contemporary discussions of space emphasize that space is not an easily visible, containable, mappable 'thing' (Massey 1994). Space is both an epistemological and a material concept; both real and imagined; both representation and practice. (Lefebvre 1991). Space is not static, but multiple, fluid and overlapping (Soja 1989), relating in complex ways to 'place' (Lash & Urry 1994). Space is als...

Contemporary discussions of space emphasize that space is not an easily visible, containable, mappable 'thing' (Massey 1994). Space is both an epistemological and a material concept; both real and imagined; both representation and practice. (Lefebvre 1991). Space is not static, but multiple, fluid and overlapping (Soja 1989), relating in complex ways to 'place' (Lash & Urry 1994). Space is also inextricably linked to time in a continually shifting relationship (Giddens 1984; Harvey 1990).

While concepts such as discourse and genre point in a holistic direction, they are ultimately rooted not in social, bu in textual abstractions. They lack a sense of locatedness in real existing social relations.
Social interaction is both something that occurs on an intensely parochial, 'micro' level and something that is structured by complex, large-scale 'macro' social structure. Yet both mic...

While concepts such as discourse and genre point in a holistic direction, they are ultimately rooted not in social, bu in textual abstractions. They lack a sense of locatedness in real existing social relations.

Social interaction is both something that occurs on an intensely parochial, 'micro' level and something that is structured by complex, large-scale 'macro' social structure. Yet both micro and macro are inadequate as a way of locating social phenomena. As a unit of analysis, 'society' (or 'culture') is simply too braod, whereas focusing on the micro may dissolve the social altogether. Understandably therefore, sociology has developed a whole range of 'middle range' concepts (Merton 1957) that describes theh social contexts within which interaction takes place. Such concepts include 'community', 'field', 'network', 'system' and 'social world'
